I would say 'stochastic terrorism' is redundant. Terrorism by definition is use of violence to inspire fear. The fear is spread most broadly and effectively when the violence is randomized.

I think the randomness re "stochastic" is in the command & control part.

It's not an important point. To me it sounds wordy and redundant.

It makes perfect sense to me. It's about the method of incitement.
